Herbert Grönemeyer at Keswick

Once in a lifetime opportunity...come see Herbert Grönemeyer live in concert on Sunday, September 15th at the Keswick Theatre in Glenside!

Who is Herbert Grönemeyer??
Grönemeyer is the best-selling German rock star of all time.  He’s influenced German popular culture and impacted colloquial terms of speaking and slang.  He’s starred in the German film Das Boot, and scored George Clooney’s 2010 film, The American.  Simply put, he's a LEGEND.  

Tickets for his shows in Germany go for $100 or more, but you can see him for the incredible special German student price of $24.  I have reserved 20 tickets and they will go fast.  Bring in $24 cash to claim a ticket.  These tickets will be sold on a first come, first served basis, so don't wait until you have class next, bring your money right away!

Students are encouraged to use Septa to get to the Keswick, which is conveniently located just a few blocks from the Glenside Regional Rail Station.

Any tickets not sold by the end of the day Wednesday, September 11th, will be open for friends and family members of attending students and can be purchased on Thursday, September 12th only.

If you have any questions, please see me in B04!

Das Schuljahr Beginnt!

The 2013-14 school year is upon us!  This year I will be teaching 3 classes of German II Honors as well as the German III Honors and AP German Language and Culture classes.  With 3 classes of students who are new to me, it is very important that students BOOKMARK THIS SITE NOW!  You will refer to this site often for class information and German resources.  If you have a resource you would like to share, please let me know!  The links on the right side will change occasionally, so always check if you are looking for a useful resource.

Please also make note of the CLASS SPECIFIC PAGES marked at the top of the picture.  Here you will find messages and links that only apply to your specific level.

There are direct links on the right side of this page to send me an email or to invite me to a Google Doc for collaboration purposes.  German II and III students also have links to the online versions of your textbook and resources.

Please go to your class page for a link to your first homework assignment!

Vielen Dank,
Frau Wilson
